Oh yes, ban SSRIs and anxiety meds before semi-automatic weapons. Makes perfect sense; what could possibly go wrong?

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

I have been travelling with my children for five (5) days and every single one of my pockets now contains at least one piece of hard candy and at least one rock, shell, or seed pod.

This part. I visualize white supremacy as a river, which like all rivers has a current. If I stop paddling against it, it will push me along - fast, slow, maybe over a cliff. I don’t mean to get sucked into a whirlpool but white supremacy does not care. We have to paddle, and we can’t stop.

Crowdsourcing some email lines to replace “hope this finds you well” which does not feel possible at this juncture. I’ve been using “hope you’ve been able to resist the slough of despond, mostly,” but I need some new options. Whatcha got, BlueSky?

I can tell that something I wrote has really gone viral when I hear from someone I knew in the 1980s about it.

Again and again I see Trump issue a new EO that seems slightly obscure and then everyday people who work in that field pop up to say "YEAH THIS FUCKS UP EVERYTHING FOR US." It's only a matter of time before Trump destroys your life/business, too. Stand up for everyone; we're all in this together.

I have to get this out: I have been a queer and trans activist and educator for 35 years and among all the other things I am feeling right now, I am also just SO ANNOYED we have to do this AGAIN.

I wish we still had patrons of the arts; I would definitely include your side person’s terrible poem and outline their name in gold in exchange for a spring patronage.

They make this two part spraypaint that waterproofs concrete and wood and such and I’ve always wanted to use it to stencil rain-themed poetry on the sidewalk so the poem only appears in the rain.

Despite executive orders from Trump, the law is clear: Denying care to trans young people means that health care providers and hospitals are in violation of our anti-discrimination laws. Trans youth are entitled to the same care as their cis peers - it's the law.

Dear infosec pals: any recs for which of the “keep your details private” services is good and makes sense and is useful enough without being total overkill?
